Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 1 st instant, you are advised that in the Report of the Secretary of War in relation to the Pension Establishment of the United States which was printed in 1835, on the list of Invalid Pensioners paid at the Massachusetts Agency, whose residence could not be ascertained by reason of the destruction of papers in the War Office in 1800 and 1814, it appears that Jude Foster , a Corporal in the Revolutionary Army was pensioned from March 4, 1789 under the Act of June 7, 1785, and died March 28, 1785.
There is no further data relative to him owing to the destruction of papers as above stated when the War Office was burned.
Very respectfully,
Washington Gardner
Commissioner.
